I want to use Proftpd instead of vsftpd which is SUSE’s default FTP server because the control panel software I am going to install on this server (ISPConfig) requires Proftpd on OpenSUSE 11 (on other distributions this is different). Since there are no OpenSUSE packages for Proftpd I have to compile it manually:
Scope:
Nagios is an excellent tool that can be used to monitor your systems and devices. For more detailed information check out the main Nagios site : Nagios.org
The scope of this howto is to give specific installation tips for Nagios running on openSUSE 11.x (should also work on openSUSE 10.3 and 11.1). Another aim is to give you an easy way to get graph history setup and more.
Installation of the sarg log analyzer:
1) Download the packeg to “/usr/local/src” directory
cd /usr/local/src
wget -nd http://downloads.safesquid.net/free/general/precompiled/sarg-2.2.3.1.tar.gz
A simple line of installation in command console-
Yast2 –i yum yumex yum-metadata-parser yum-utils
For FC or Centos Distro use
yum install php-devel
This is the easy way to install ffmpeg on CentOS or RHEL/Redhat Enterprise Linux the easy way.\
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
Insert the following:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
There are two situations in which you might want to add a new network interface – if your system has just had a network card installed, or if you are adding an additional virtual IP address to an existing interface. In the latter case, the new virtual interface is not associated with its own separate network card, but instead adds an additional IP address to an existing Ethernet card. Virtual addresses are often used on systems hosting multiple websites, so that each site can have its own IP address.
Somebody lately, asked a silly simple thing- how can he copy files from his computer to usb and he’s using linux? Actually any novice can ask this simple thing- as GUI interface is already became quite mature than earlier and ppl naturally forgetting command consoles. Anyways, here goes it like this-
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
cp yourfile /mnt/sda1
sync
umount /mnt/sda1
edit the following line in /etc/inittab
id:5:initdefault: and
change it to
id:3:initdefault:
so if you reboot the default running level is 3 which is not GUI
For Debian 8-9/Jessie-Stretch use the following command:
In order to make text boot the default under systemd (regardless of which distro, really):
systemctl set-default multi-user.target
To change back to booting to the GUI,
systemctl set-default graphical.target
Let’s assume our network interface is eth0. Then there is a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 which contains the settings for eth0. We can use this as a sample for our new virtual network interface eth0:0:
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
Now we want to use the IP address 192.168.0.101 on the virtual interface eth0:0. Therefore we open the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and modify it as follows (we can leave out the HWADDR line as it is the same physical network card):
